CorelDraw 101: Getting Started

Import and Export Filters

Import File
Choose File, Import to open the Import window.

Import/Export File Types
(We will discuss how to import files in a future lesson.) The list of
file types in the Files of Type Window reflects the import filters you
have installed in your copy of CorelDraw 9. These are the file types you
can import into a CorelDraw document. Some types, like WMF and AI will
be editable. Others like TIF or GIF can be placed and printed, but cannot
be edited directly with CorelDraw. File types can be added through the
Options window.

Open Option Window
Choose Tools, Options to open the Options window.

Add Filter
Choose Global, Filters from the Options list. You will see three types
of filters listed in the first box to the right of the list: Raster, Vector
and Text. The box on the right indicates the filters that are currently
installed. To add a graphic filter, expand the raster or vector file type
and choose the file type you wish to add. Click on Add.

Remove Filter
Click on the file type you wish to remove in the List of Active Filters
and click Remove.
